Analysis of an evacuated cylindrical solar collector

Journal Article · · Sol. Energy; (United States)
An analysis of the performance of an evacuated tube collector is presented. A calculation procedure is developed to determine the transmission of obliquely incident radiation through the cylindrical glass shell of such a collector. The method is applied to a collector which uses a thin flat plate across its diameter as its absorbing surface. (SPH)
